    AFL Draft

    Who knows? But as you said he was instrumental in a successful September campaign so it was well worth it for Sydney. Hell, Collingwood would love to win a prelim over Geelong at some stage :(

    AFL Draft

    Yeah, Knights was on my radar as well. Re Davis and Roos I think what you mean is "too bad Davis is an immature, ungrateful c***, and lazy into the picture as well". Good player tho...

    Not sure about 'exactly', given Steve's batting was pretty lively by the standardsof the first half of his career, and Steve was definitely the better bowler when he could still bowl. He didn't have the game to adapt his batting to the mid 90s revolution in ODIs as well as Mark did obviously...

    was somewhat confused and nauseated for a minute there, til I worked out you meant in utero. :laugh:

    AFL Draft

    Was my pick for a < 50 gamer. Int - Robert Dipierdominco - Hawthorn Surprised no one took him in their 18, one of the great wings, and one of the toughest pllayers ever. Won a Brownlow as well.

    It was a bit different for the Waughs as they were twins, so they both forged their reps at the same time, so Mark got no assistance from that - indeed he and Steve were competing for the same spot often in the Aus team early on. Being a 'son of' undoubtedly helps in having the resources and...

    Was there room in your normal booth for him in any case?

    Are we going with the one member of the interchange must have < 50 games thing?

    Mark Waugh

    Probably 'probably Hayden' rather than maybe. We're talking two very very good batsmen who both have one or two well publicized short comings. I'm not in the extreme Hayden = FTB camp by any means, but Waugh played the majority of his career against better bowling and more lively pitches than...

    And on average it was 44 from Mark and 50 from Steve, so it's not like the choice was always that stark. ;)

    Mark Waugh

    On what do you judge that he failed to fulfil his potential? Because he made it look easier than a Langer or Katich yet had a similar record? I'm not saying he was an absolute great in the Lara, Tendulkar, or Steve Waugh vein, but that he was very good and probably underestimated. For...

    Well played Dhoni. Looks like a decent match from the scorecard.

    Was responding to Jono's point, not yours. You're right about that IMO.

    ^^ Irrelevant to him as a player however [ianhealy.jpg] Agree he's not a great commentator though.

    Mark Waugh

    Off field, he's by all accounts a very easy going, somewhat introverted guy. Never was much of a drinker, which set him apart a bit. Seems pretty vague and unfussed about a lot in life besides his family, cricket and horse racing. Was very competitive on field but didn't show it the way...

    Mark Waugh

    Reckon he's a bit underrated round these parts. Probably played on a year too long in the end, with hindsight, and I think that's affected how he's seen. Was a massively important player in tests and ODIs for a long time, after waiting more than 100 FC matches to get a Test. Probably the best...

    Lol, just when you think it's safe to go back in an Aus-Ind tour thread again, here's Social picking a fight with our subcontinent members and HB taking everything to heart again. The seasons change, history becomes legend, legend becomes myth, but nothing ever changes on the Wheel of Time.
